– Once a group chat is deleted, it cannot be restored. If you need to save any important information from the chat, make sure to copy it before deleting the chat.
– If you’re the admin of the group, deleting the group chat will also remove you from the group. If you want to keep your membership, you may need to transfer the admin role to another member before deleting the chat.
